American leads by two as he chases another victory in Hawaii

Jimmy Walker, who notched his second career US PGA Tour win in Hawaii, could be on track for another success on the island state after taking a two-shot lead after the first round of the SBS Tournament of Champions yesterday morning (Singapore time).

The reigning US PGA Championship title-holder plundered an eagle and six birdies in benign conditions for a bogey-free eight-under 65 on the Kapalua Plantation course on the island of Maui.
